At fixed frequency and plate potential, how does photocurrent vary with intensity?
AIt rises linearly
BIt rises as the square
CIt falls linearly
DIt stays constant
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. It rises linearly
Photocurrent counts electrons emitted per second, which is directly proportional to the intensity of the light.
